I am extremely impressed with Arden Lea Care home . Since my Mother has arrived at the Care home the Care staff have been attentive and kind and caring to my Mother .I visit my Mum regularly throughout the week so It is incredibly reassuring for me knowing when I leave that Mum is so well looked after . If any issues occur with my Mum, the staff are efficient and effective in assisting with a solution . My Mother appears content in the Care home which speaks volumes about how good the care is at the home . There is a wonderful activity program scheduled throughout the week and often fantastic live music . These activities are brilliant to involve residents and create a joyful happy experience. The staff as well as being attentive and caring to the residents are also very pleasant to the residents family members which is wonderful. Also the reception staff and Management are friendly and attentive. I am so grateful for the quality care Arden Lea provides . Thank you

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. It is always nice to hear words like "Respect" and "Dignity" being used to describe our care. We're fortunate to have such a dedicated and compassionate team, and it's wonderful to see their hard work recognized. Hopefully you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care.

I'm very pleased with the care and support my brother-in-law has received at Ardenlea Grove Care Home. From the moment he arrived, the staff have been welcoming, compassionate and professional, and it has been reassuring to see how well he has settled in. The staff genuinely take the time to get to know the residents and treat them with kindness, dignity and respect. Communication with the family has also been excellent, and we always feel kept informed about his wellbeing and care. As a family member, knowing that someone you care about is safe, comfortable and being looked after with such compassion means a great deal. I would highly recommend Ardenlea Grove to anyone looking for a caring and supportive home for their loved one.

My mother was only at the home for a couple of weeks for her end of life. It was a huge relief to me and my family that she settled immediately into the life of the home, and therefore her last weeks were so comforting as she was content and smiling until the end. The staff were lovely and connected with her straight away and when I visited I could tell that she was calm and was being well cared for. I also felt extremely welcomed and 'at home' every time I was there. Thank you so much for looking after Mum when she most needed it.
We appreciate you taking the time to write this during what must be a very difficult period. Hearing that our care has made a difference to you and your family is truly rewarding. Your comments are a testament to the dedication of everyone in the home. We're so sorry to hear of your loss, and our thoughts are with you and your family at this time.

Overall, mom's stay at Arden Lea Grove was good. She settled initally but become more unsettled as time went on. The staff did their very best considering the ratio of carers to their patients. Some of the lounge furniture was not very good and the chairs are in need of replacing. Mom struggled with food options but was never really asked each day as to what she wanted.
Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that overall your Mums stay was good. We will discuss your feedback with our management team as we do continuously strive to improve our service. Thank you again.

We attended the Garden Party on 16th June. The staff had gone to a lot of trouble to set the scene with lots of decorations and everyone was in red hats. Ruby Ann was an excellent entertainer and a lovely afternoon tea was provided, followed by ice-cream. I loved the way the staff interacted with the residents, helping each one to join in, in their own way. There was such a happy atmosphere, everyone clearly enjoying the fun
We appreciate you sharing your experience with our home. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the garden party with Ardenlea Grove, thank you for recognizing the effort our activities team put into creating meaningful moments with residents. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
Always a good experience when visiting my mom. Welcomed with a smile and friendly chat with the receptionist. The carers are always helpful and informative if any questions are asked by myself. The care home in general is excellent this includes all staff.

They have looked after my 93-year-old Mom since December 2025. She was in an assessment area previously for 5 months. She arrived to this care home in an awful, confused state but with care and attention here, Mom has some of her spark back after being institutionalised for so long. She has gradually, with love and care, begun to interact with staff/residents and taking part in all activities. Loves having her meals and over time got stronger. I am so impressed with this home.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so happy that your Mum has now got her spark back after being well cared for at Ardenlea Grove. Thank you again for choosing us to care for your Mum.
I find the staff warm friendly, and helpful. Every time I visit the home. Always smells lovely and fresh and clean. The residents seem happy and content, and they always got actives which I think is very important and helpful for all residents.

I am pleased the home offers my mum a place of safety. She is kept clean and presentable and overall the food is good. The care staff work very hard and the activity staff. Rooms maybe a bit dated and need brightening up but you can take your own bedding in which helps. I have to give praise to the office staff as they are brilliant and of great help and support to me with dealing with queries. Thank you for looking after my mother as it was hard to have to let her go to a nursing home after looking after her for 15 years but I can relax a bit more knowing she is safe.
Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear you can relax knowing that your Mum is safe in our care. Thank you for choosing Ardenlea Grove for her care.

Exceptional staff on the second floor looking after my Mom. Needs are met any problems are dealt with within 24 hours from the staff. Eggy/Julie are exceptional carers tending to my mom, taking time out to talk to her, in between visits and if they aren't too busy with other residents, activities are here for all residents, and again Julie goes out of her way to see if my mom wants to participate. Food is good and plenty of choice again the two foremost mentioned can't fault or praise enough - unbelievable pair of staff.
We appreciate you sharing your experience with our home. Providing peace of mind for families is one of our top priorities, so your words mean a lot.

Choosing a care home for a loved one is never easy. You want them to be somewhere where they feel safe, somewhere clean. Where the staff are friendly and also professional. Food that is nutritious, but also looks appetising and a room that is spacious, which you can turn into a home. Also, somewhere that you, as their most frequent visitor, are going to be made to feel welcome, listened too and treated as the person who knows your loved one best.
I found all of this in a place called Ardenlea Grove, in Solihull.
I visited numerous times. All times of the day and night and not once was I made to feel uncomfortable. From Rachel on reception, Chryll in Finance, Egbert and his team of wonderful nurses & nursing assistants, John the maintenance guy and not forgetting Sanah the Manager. I met them all and not once did I sense any red flags. So the decision was made. And that's when the real fight began.
If you aren't self funding, sadly, there are many hoops you have to jump through with regard to the local authority, to get the home of your choosing. From funding, to the right equipment. But it was during this battle that any lingering doubts I might have had that Ardenlea Grove was the right place for my husband, was quickly demolished. Because my fight became their fight and the support I received, before my husband even set foot on the premises, was immeasurable. And here we are, 8 weeks down the line, with my husband happily looking at the squirrels & birds in the tree outside his window. With family pictures hanging on the wall. Clean, shaven and a delicious lunch ahead of him and the icing on the cake? Unlimited visits from the love of his life. Lucy, his beloved dog!
Do I recommend Ardenlea Grove? That would be a yes.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this outstanding review of our care home. We are blown away by your kind words! You quite rightly stated that there are many factors to consider when looking for the right care home for a loved one- location, food and cleanliness to name a few but what stands out the most about Ardenlea Grove is the people: our members of staff who are always willing to go above and beyond to make sure that every resident is well taken care of and that their families feel welcome! Thank you for recognising the dedication of our staff. We are looking forward to making many more memories with you and your loved one.
I found my wife to be cared for very well indeed. All the staff she meets are very efficient, friendly and kind. Food deserves praise. The cost of all this excellence is understandably high.

I am really happy with the care given to mum - she is well looked after by nurses and carers. I am kept informed about Mum every time I visit/call. The home is always putting on activities, visits, music, and quizzes for residents (and visitors). To keep the residents as active and involved as possible. Mum is dressed, clean and cared for. The rooms are clean, and food is nutritious (when mum feels like eating). I would recommend this home.
It's always encouraging to read reviews like this. We want our home to feel like a community, and it's wonderful to hear that you feel a part of it. It's great to know that you feel your loved one has been well cared for- that's exactly what we strive for. We're committed to continuing to support you and your family in every way we can.
Staff are amazing, from night staff to office staff and care team, they are all cheerful and helpful. A special mention of Egbert, his care and nursing has solved mum's medical problems when the hospital had 'washed their hands' of her. Having someone who mum trusts has made a world of difference....
Staff are amazing, from night staff to office staff and care team, they are all cheerful and helpful. A special mention of Egbert, his care and nursing has solved mum's medical problems when the hospital had 'washed their hands' of her. Having someone who mum trusts has made a world of difference. Also office staff have spent many hours sorting issues with finances for us, which is so appreciated.
Thank you for your kind words. We are so pleased to hear how well your mother is doing in our care. We are fortunate to have such dedicated staff who love what they do and it's great to hear this reflected in your comments. Please do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything more we can do.
I love volunteering here weekly. The staff are so lovely. From baking to jewellery making to virtual cruises, the activities are amazing!! My favourite activity is when a live singer came in as I could see the positive impact it had on the residents. Thank you for the experience to volunteer!!
